A NEW CONNECTION WITH THE GRAND
TRUNK
The wealthiest and most active men of
Colebrook, N. H., are discussing the question
of raising capital and building this year, to
be run as an independent concern, line
from that town through Columbia to North
Stratford, where it would make connection
with the Grand Trunk. The distance would
be thirteen miles, and the road being all of
the way in the Connecticut Valley, could be
built at very reasonable cost. With that
accomplished there is no doubt but that an
extension would soon be made northward
from Colebrook, about 10 miles, to the Do
mlnion border, where it would be met by a
spur which would be built southwark from
the Megantic line by Canadian people. Such
a road would become one of the through
short routes from Boston and Portland to
Quebec
CONCORD RAILROAD.
The rumor that possibly the Concord Rail-
way may become interested in the new rail.
road from Lawrence to Boston reveals the
fact that that corporation has no lease of the
Manchester and Lawrence, but only operates
it under business arrangement that can be
terminated on short notice from either party.
Neither the Concord nor any other railroad
system has controlling interest of the Man.
chester and Lawrence. In case of new COM
plications the latter would be leased to.that
system which would give the best rental, all
things considered, to its stockholders.
HAvERHILL AND LAWRENCE.
A prominent stakeholder in the proposed
Haverhill and Lawrence railroad says that
the prospects of the road being built were SO
good as to amount almost to certainty.
"Some had supposed that if the Boston and
Maine leased the Lowell the Haverhill and
Lawrence road would be abandoned Such
was not the case, however. The other roads
would be compelled to draw their cars from
Lawrence, for which a.certain compensation
was fixed by law. The people of Hayerhill
were anxious to have a competing line To
Boston, aud the stockholders were lust as
firm in their intention of building the road
as ever"

THE MEDICAL REGISTRATION
BILL.
Senator Sleeper Replies to the Gov
ernor's Objections.

Senator Sleeper of Androscoggin has
written the following letter to the Lewiston
| Journal:
As my name has been prominently men
toned in connection with the Medical Regis
tration Bill, and in reply to many inquiries,
ask the privilege of making few COM
ments, through the Journal, upon the mes
sage of Gov. Bodwell, in which he vetoed
that measure.
The Governors first, and as he says, his
most serious objection is that the penalty is
too severe for the offence. The Governor.
very unfairly, it seems to me, gives notorie-
ty to the maximum penalty for the second
offence, but says nothing of the minimum
punishment for the first offence, which is
fifty dollars instead of five hundred, and the
action of the Legislature, in passing the bill
by so large majority, would seem to ind-
cate that it did not consider that excessive.
However, there is no need to argue the first
objection, for its force, if it had any, was
entirely removed by the offer of the friends
of the bill to pass an amendment reducing
the penalty.
What the second objection of the Governor
really is, does not plainly appear, but seems
to be fear lest the pockets of the medical
profession of the State" shall suffer in con-
sequence of the formation Of Board of Reg
istration. Considering the fact that the
medical profession of the State, without re-
gard to ''pathy," have been and are now
calling loudly,for this bill and were largely
instrumental n securing its passage, the OBJ
lection seems TO be most uncomfortable
one, and its fallacy apparent upon its face.
Then the Governor seems to fear lest the
formation of a Board OF Registration will
result in the formation of a new medical
school in Maine, in which persons who are
not graduates of an existing institution, and
yet aspire to the practice of medicine, shall
be compelled to go before the Board and be
examined, as to proficiency in the English
language, and in the science of anatomy,
ETC."
How our worthy Governor can find any
such inference as this in the bill, | am unable
to understand. What the bill really provides
for is the creation of Board which shall
issue certificates of registration to all per-
sons who should be engaged in the practice
of medicine at the time of the passage of the
act, and residents of this State, upon the
payment of three dollars, and the proper
application therefor, which may be sent by
mail, and this shall be done without any ex-
animation whatever as to professional quail
fcation.
1t shall also issue its certificates to all who
are residents of the State, and who apply for
it, upon the lawful possession Of diploma
from any reputable medical college, and
practically examination is required only
from those who have not graduated In nedi-
tect the community as well as the honest and
properly qualified physicians, and its ten
dency is to increase the excellence and eftic-
iency Of the entire medical profession in our
State. Yet the Governor says: This en-
larged provision might not improbably In
